Your optimal functioning depends on the state of your mental health and stability. Every success that we strive to achieve is only sustainable in a state of optimal mental wellness.

Mental health like any other health condition is greatly important in our day-to-day functioning and more so in maintaining functional relationships. Our optimal functioning is fully pegged on the state of our mental capacities, be it the way we think, feel or act. The level of our awareness on what drives our thoughts, feeling and behaviour determines how we interact with ourselves and the environment around us. This in turn determines how we perceive and relate with the world.

Everyday that you are aware of your individual needs, adds value to your state of mental wellness. Being aware of how your mental state influences your capacity and productivity in your life is key to developing greater connections with yourself.

Ask yourself the following question to help you wonder what you need to achieve optimal mental health wellness in your life.

How important is it to acknowledge the state of your emotions at any one time?

What are your daily tasks demands?

How important is it to scrutinize the kind of relationship you have with yourself and others?

How well do you cope with criticism, adversity and any other challenge in life?

These five questions are helpful to walk you through the journey of self introspection and give you an imagination of gaining insight on the fundamental question to understanding yourself in developing the abilities to help you to precisely take charge of the state of your mental wellness, without which struggles of daily life challenges can be destructive.
